If you have a sun4c system, you are shit outta luck.  Current Debian
is being compiled with hw multiply instructions which are not available
on sun4c processors, effectively sun4c isn't supported anymore and
frankly I don't blame them, stick with Sid.

If you have a sun4m, you need a 2.4.21 or later kernel.
